I was planning to show this off for the first time when we reveal the Demo. But with it being pushed back ive decided just to go ahead and show you guys what we've been up to! From Sam and everyone on the team, we really appreciate your patience and faith in what we are doing!
So this has litterally been years in the making & now today I ask you to help me take UPW to that next level! If you’re interested at all in this project just know that even $1 from enough people can have a massive impact. Let’s get this! 👊
